Another conspiricy theorist,
is this really Mars? :wink: :wink:

I didnt realise that Cassini was so big, nearly 3 stories high, a far cry from the likes of the voyager probes.
btw, Cassini is also the first probe ever to go into orbit around Saturn.

The big question is will Huygens land on land or an ocean ???
